Multi-sensory mapping and stimulation for sleep M2S2

Overview

The Multi-sensory Mapping and Stimulation for Sleep (M2S2) is an innovative wearable device aimed at enhancing the quality of sleep by identifying and addressing the sensory triggers that prevent restful sleep. This device maps users' states and correlates them with sleep patterns to identify cross-modal correspondences that enable relaxation. By integrating multi-sensory inputs, similar to how infants are naturally soothed to sleep, M2S2 helps users achieve a restful state aligned with their chronobiological rhythms, leading to improved performance upon waking.

Technical specifications

Key features:

• Wearable Technology: The device is designed to be worn comfortably during sleep, providing continuous monitoring and stimulation.
• Multi-Sensory Inputs: Incorporates auditory, olfactory, and tactile inputs to trigger relaxation and sleep.
• Chronobiological Alignment: Adjusts sensory inputs based on users' natural rhythms to optimize sleep quality.
• Data Mapping and Analysis: Records sleep patterns and correlates them with sensory inputs to refine the approach for individual users.

Technology readiness level

The M2S2 is currently at Technology Readiness Level 4. Initial prototypes have been developed, and community scale experiments are planned to validate the device's efficacy. Over the next two years, further refinements and testing with larger groups are planned to prepare the device for market opportunities.
